Spring Break Camp
volunteers needed! 
Spring Break is when some consider which vacation to take...but sadly there are children in our area who will struggle to find a full meal. AS A RESPONSE: April 23rd, 24th, & 25th our church is partnering with the Missional Network and other local churches to host a FREE Spring Break Camp at Hill's Chapel for kids Kindergarten through 12th grade, from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.  Volunteers (YOU) are needed to make it happen!  Come 1 or all 3 days, and your service with crafts, games, science, Bible study, or food can be a life changing event for these kids. Contact Cortni at  [email protected]  to get plugged in & for more details. Spread the word!
